AI agents call get_system_object_definitions to retrieve information from Sfcc Dev without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about system objects for discovery and inspection purposes. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute commands, delete records, or move money. It is a read-only query operation similar to other sibling tools like get_code_versions and get_isml_elements_by_category. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an agent could only learn about available objects, not alter them.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get all system object definitions with metadata' — a retrieval operation that queries and discovers available objects without modification, deletion, or execution of code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all system object definitions with metadata (not attributes). Use to discover available objects and identify Custom Objects via the _type field. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sfcc Dev MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sfcc Dev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_system_object_definitions: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sfcc Dev. Nothing to install.
get_system_object_definitions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_system_object_definitions rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_system_object_definitions. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_system_object_definitions is provided by the Sfcc Dev MCP server (sfcc-dev-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
